You can measure battery state of charge with a hydrometer or

Charge

approximate state of charge with a voltmeter. Use a digital voltmeter that

 

can display tenths or hundredths of a volt when measuring 10 to 30 volts.

 

Make your measurements when the battery has not been charged or

 

discharged for several hours. For a deep-cycle battery at 77º F (25º C), use

 

the following table:
